Hello and welcome. Lets first rule out a heating issue. Download and run SpeedFan and post results: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer Please could you post your computer hardware this may help us rule out or in an issue. Try an update of hardware drivers and load defaults settings in BIOS. Is shut down random or during a lot of running processes? Or is it during game play?

Thankyou for the information. I have not found much on this but can quote what others have said on this issue if that can help? Do you have 1 gig RAM or more? Do you have the latest DirectX installed? I am a little stumped on the problem but I also dont like to give up,but I think I have to unless someone else can pop on and give an answer.

Hello there. It appears you may of installed windows on F drive by mistake. You could reinstall windows and delete F while you are there. F is possibly the small amount of free hard drive space that is left free from manufacturers or it was possible it was your recovery console.

Copy both lists and we will see what we can see what is up. You realy should upgrade your RAM to at least a gig if your computer can utilise that amount.

Hello and welcome. Are you able to get into BIOS and load defaults? Are you able to boot from the XP install disk? When you say dual boot are you using two seprate partitions or two seprate hard drives?

Hello Lisa. Could you explain what you are doing when this error occurs please?

Ok one thing at a time. Restart the computer and it will say "To enter setup press ?" or "Press ? to enter setup". The ? could be Del key,F1 or F2 key. Press wich one it says to. In setup/BIOS it will tell you to press a certain key to load defaults and another key to save and exit.

I note your external drive is connected. Could you dissconnect any external hardware that is not required for booting the computer. Items like printer,scanner,external drives,webcam etc. Then load defaults in BIOS set first boot to CD/DVD rom pop in disk and start again. Does that work? Another possibility is your disk contains service pack 1 and the computer contains service pack 2,is this possible?

RandyL yes Logitech can be a pain.I spent a year thinking my expencive Logitech keyboard was broken. LOL. It was just try try and try again to get it to connect.

Possibly the simplist thing to do is as I did a few days ago with my computer upstairs and the babys. Both have wireless keyboard and mouse,Logitech. They are a pain in the rear. It is connect mouse then keyboard. Its press the button on the reciever then on mouse then do the same for the keyboard. It took a few attempts to get them to connect. They connected in the end but soooooo annoyed me.

A little cheeky today? Restart the computer and enter setup/BIOS and load defaults save and exit. Does that help? Could you please check in event veiwer on any error that may point to software or a driver issue please? Open command prompt running in Admin mode.Typ in chkdsk /r and hit enter.Restart the computer and let chkdsk /r run.Please note any errors it may show. Again open command prompt in Admin mode and type in sfc /scannow and hit enter.Let sfc /scannow run and note if there is corruption that cannot be fixed. Running a repair maybe an option.

Firtsly unplug any external hardware that is not required for booting the computer. Items such as printer,webcam and so on. Restart the computer and do you now get the found new hardware wizard popup? In device manager right click on each USB item inturn and choose update driver. If the popup has gone then connect one external hardware item at a time testing to see wich may be causing the popup. If you figure out one of the externaly connected hardware is causing the popup,as an example the printer,reinstall the printer software and hardware driver.
